- Prasanna Mahesh Pawar, a long-term protégé of AMMOC, received admissions offers from KAIST (full ride), University of Toronto, and HKUST. He would study mathematics as a major, class of ’30. We hope readers will benefit from his thesis [at AMMOC], wherein he studied a graduate-level algebra course as a DRP.
- The most scholarly protégé of AMMOC, Sarthak Dattatray Dhobale, has received a full scholarship [as an international student] to study math at Princeton University for the class of 2029. He studied topological and abstract algebraic structures as part of his DRP, which culminated in his high school thesis spanning 160 pages.
- Nihad Hashimov, a mentee from Azerbaijan, has received a full scholarship to study UG in math at KAIST, South Korea, for the class of 2029. He was also offered admission with a scholarship to study math at the University of Edinburgh. However, upon our careful deliberation, we agreed to proceed with the offer of KAIST. Nihad studied an accelerated course in mathematical analysis and group theory as part of his DRP at AMMOC, and this culminated in his high school thesis.
